I get a lot of commercial email trying to sell me technology services. Even though these are commercial emails with an unsubscribe link it is still annoying to have to filter through them and unsubscribe. A simple email hack that works well is to filter all email into a separate folder that is not coming from your top 5 domains.
Looking at my email most of it comes from the same five domains. So any emails not coming from these are automatically moved into a “tier-2″ folder for later sorting. It is a simple hack that works quite well.
As a side note, I actually get quite a bit of spam a day. I have a pair of Barracuda 600 spam firewalls that are very effective at catching 95% of them. The ones that filter through the above hack gets the rest. The one or two that beats the odds only take a few seconds for me to delete anyways.
